Each embroidery saw the opportunity, and the golden gun crossbar swept heavily on Ma Yue's good, "He bowed up in pain, Zhang Xiu immediately lifted Ma Yue's collar with one hand, lifted it away from the horse's back, and then fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, he kicked the big knife in his hand, and the huge force on his foot made Ma Yue unable to hold the weapon in his hand anymore, and the big knife flew towards Yijian

Ma Yue fell to the ground, and Zhang Xiu immediately shouted: "Tie him up, take care of him, don't let him kill himself!" But Zhang Xiu saw that there was gray gas in Ma Yue's eyes, and he had the intention of committing suicide several times, but Zhang Xiu blocked them one by one, so he added the latter sentence.

Under Zhang Xiu's order, naturally a guard stepped forward to tie Ma Yue with a hemp rope, Zhang Xiu watched the guards tie Ma Yue, and when he looked up again, he saw that Ma had already led the army to rush to the gate of the camp, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that Ma led the army to break through the defense at the gate of the camp.

Zhang Xiu snorted coldly and scolded in a low voice: "Think you can get away with it like this? It's too much to underestimate the layout of the general. ”

As if confirming what Zhang Xiu said, he only heard the sound of sharp arrows shooting outside the camp, and then heard the screams of the soldiers of the Ma Department outside the camp gate, and vaguely heard them say: "It's not good, it's the elite troops of the enemy!" Run! It's a rush again! Ahh

Zhang Xiu only ambushed more than 20,000 troops in the camp. With Zhang Xiu's troops, even if they are all used for ambushes, they may not be able to trap Ma Dajun to death, after all, the difference in numbers between the two sides is not too far, and the ambush location is a large camp, and the two sides are not dangerous places such as high mountains that can be ambushed.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu had long expected that Ma Jiao Gong would have a good chance to escape from the camp, so he arranged for the flying feather archers and cloud horses to be transferred out of the rear camp early in the morning, and immediately attacked the horse army after it escaped from the camp.

Face the blows of the flying feather archers and the cloud riders and arrow rain. The horse had to lead the army to retreat towards the city of Guili. It's just that as soon as he retreated, the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves came from the east and west.

The horse looked left and right. But he saw two cavalry troops attacking from the flank. There were not many cavalry troops, but everyone was dressed in heavy armor, and the whole person was wrapped in heavy armor, even the war horses, holding a mace in their hands, which was Pangulis. One unit also wears thick armor, but the armor only protects its vital points. The spear in his hand has been flattened, and it is believed that under the strong impact of the war horse, the cavalry spear in the hand of this army will cause huge casualties to the horse army, and this army is the thunder horse.

The two elite troops came from the flank, but the horse stared at the Pangulis in the front. Zhou Cang, who was holding a 250-pound mace. In addition to the Ma Dai letter forged by Zhang Xiu, what Jia Xu taught Zhou Cang also played a great role.

If it is said that the letter is to let Ma Yue get into the plan, then Zhou Cang's words are the last doubts of Ma. As a martial artist, I know that a person's character can be seen from the martial arts routines, Ma has fought with Zhou Cang, and knows that he is a bright and upright person. That's why I believed Zhou Cang's words. The last doubts were dispelled. But Ma didn't know that what Zhou Cang said was designed by Jia Xu based on the personalities of Zhou Cang and Ma, and the words in it made Ma Yue, who was anxious for his son, worry about Ma Dai's situation, and he couldn't distinguish the situation. Coupled with the performance of Ma Ji Zhongyi earlier, there are so many prongs that there is no way to get a horse and a horse to leap.

When Ma saw Zhou Cang, it can be said that the enemy met. is very red-eyed, and he doesn't care about a lot, so he kills Zhou Cang directly with a gun. Zhou Cang grinned. With a mace in hand, he met him.

Last time, his own weapon was broken with Zhou Cang. The horse no longer fought with Zhou Cang, and the spear was linked, and at the same time hid sideways on the side of the horse to avoid Zhou Cang's sweep. The shadow of the gun exploded, like a tiger. The sharp tip of the spear pierced Zhou Cang's chest and abdomen. The horse is a combination of men and horses, and the equestrian and spear skills have reached a very high level, so as to kill Zhou Cang with one blow.

Zhou Cang saw Ma's swift blow, and was immediately horrified, and the mace he swung out was too late to retract his defense, so he reluctantly moved to the side, and at the same time the mace smashed towards the shaft of Ma's spear.

"When...... burst

This time, the weapon on the horse's hand was not an ordinary standard spear, and the sharp spear head pierced through the heavy armor on Zhou Cang's body, and then easily pierced Zhou Cang's body. However, after piercing, Zhou Cang's body was not pierced as the horse thought, but the spear only pierced into Zhou Cang's body a few inches before the strength was exhausted, when the horse reacted, and when he wanted to use force again, Zhou Cang's mace had been swept heavily on the barrel of the horse spear, and the huge force swept the horse's spear away. At the same time, the spear head that pierced into Zhou Cang's body was also swept out, allowing Zhou Cang to escape.

Zhou Cang gasped, holding a mace and looking at the horse that had sat back on the horse's back with a wary face, but the horse chuckled lightly and said: "I didn't expect you to be a rib, but it's normal, your strength is so great, if it weren't for the ribs, I would be surprised." Fang is my carelessness, and now you must die! After speaking, the horse spear attacked Zhou Cang.

In the face of the horse's stormy attack, Zhou Cang did not dare to attack the horse, but defended with a mace. In addition to the weight of the mace, there is also a characteristic that it is large or wide, although Zhou Cang's martial arts are far inferior to the horse, but the mace is used as a shield, where the horse hits. Then the mace was horizontal, and the huge mace could be blocked by any false move, of course, this could only be defended for a while. After a long time, Yima's martial arts can naturally find flaws. But on the battlefield, changes are instantaneous. If it is a fighting general in front of the battle, the horse may have a chance to kill Zhou Cang, but in the battlefield engagement, there will be no chance if one blow is not in the way. Ma Lian attacked Zhou Cang with several shots. In the direction of Kaede Castle in the south, there was the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves. The horse was shocked when he heard it, and the sound of horses' hooves several times in a row was killed by Zhang Xiu's army, and the horse now began to hate hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Don't care about killing Zhou Cang, Le turned the horse's head, and led the army to rush to the south, now the east and west sides are Zhang Xiu's elite Pangulishi and Lei Cai, and behind the north is Zhang Xiu's army, and the surrounding flying feather archers and cloud cavalry are still running and shooting arrow rain strikes. The only way to escape was to the south, which had not yet been encircled.

After walking for a while, the guard next to him said to the horse: "General, look at the big banner in front, it seems to be the banner of Master Hugh." ”

When Ma heard this, he muttered to himself suspiciously, "Brother Hugh? Isn't he in the city? How is it here? After saying that, Ma Zema quickly moved forward, crossed the formation and came out again, and asked in a loud voice, "But Brother Hugh?" ”

After the horse had finished drinking, a man came out of the army that was rushing in front of him, and shouted, "Big brother, it's me." ”

Seeing that it was Ma Xiu, Ma hurriedly asked, "Why don't you."

Matthew replied, "Shortly after my uncle and eldest brother left. Zhang Xiu sent the general Hua Xiong to lead the army to attack the city. There were not many soldiers in the city, and it was broken by Huaxiong's army in just a while. The younger brother saw that the opportunity was wrong, and immediately fled out of the city with the remnants to find the eldest brother. ”

When Ma heard this, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "What a Zhang embroidery!" Seeing that Zhang Xiu's army continued to chase behind. Ma said loudly: "Brother Hugh." Zhang Xiu's army pursued after him and retreated east with his brother. ”

Ma Xiu didn't care about asking the reason, and hurriedly responded. He led his army to the east and fled east with his horses. I don't know how many miles I escaped, I only know that after dawn, Zhang Xiu's army never chased after him, and Ma and Ma Xiu gradually gathered the defeated soldiers, and at the same time Ma told the situation at night, and the two saw that Ma Yue did not catch up all night and knew that there was more than one luck.

The two brothers discussed it and decided to return to Liangzhou after crossing Weishui to the south, although there was news before that Tai Shici's army was deployed on the south bank of Weishui to prevent the army from crossing the river, but Weishui was so long. Horses believe they will always find an opportunity to cross the river. After crossing the Weishui, first go south, enter the Qinling Mountains, and the team of thousands of people can completely pass over the edge of the Qinling Mountains, bypassing Wang Wei's headquarters stationed in Wuzhangyuan, even if the whereabouts are revealed, with the degree of cavalry, they can quickly get rid of the pursuit of Tai Shici and Wang Wei's army. After the calculation. Ma and Matthew immediately led their troops south.

In the city of Jili. Zhang Xiu sat in the main hall of Ma Yuan's mansion, and below were Hua Xiong, Fa Zheng, Ma Yue, Ma Dai and his son. Zhang Xiu smiled. said to Ma Yue: "Defei Ma Yue made up his own words, but now he is reunited with Shen Zhi's father and son." ”

Ma Yue was angry. The horn sounded and said, "Zhang Xiu." Thou hast deceived and dissatisfied. ”

Zhang Xiu didn't care, and said: "If you don't accept you, you will pick a random general among the generals, and if you win, the generals will let you go, but if you lose" Speaking of the back, Zhang Xiu "hummed" twice, and the meaning is self-evident.

Ma Dai pulled Ma Yue and said, "Father, don't be angry, there are countless fierce generals under the command of the general, and my father is not an opponent." ”

Ma Yue snorted, shook his hand, and scolded: "You rebel, the general and the general are so smooth, have you already surrendered to the enemy?" ”

Ma Dai immediately defended: "Father is angry. Dai didn't surrender to the enemy, and the general of the letter also explained to his father in person, and it really has nothing to do with Dai. It's just that in the past year, the general has been treated very well, so he is honored. ”

Ma Yue said angrily: "Zhang Xiu treats you very well. What about the Father's upbringing of you? There is also your uncle's expectation of you, and how to repay Meng Qi for treating you like a brother! ”

Ma Dai heard it and said in horror: "Dai is not filial, please ask my father to hang him..."

When Zhang Xiu saw it, he said: "Defei doesn't need to be like this. I'm afraid that it won't take a few months, Shoucheng will serve me, so Shoucheng's expectations for Shenzhi, Meng Qi and their brotherhood with Shenzhi can be repaid, and of course, Defei Your nurturing grace. ”

Ma Yue said angrily: "Nonsense! Brother won't serve you, and neither will our Ma family! Seeing Ma Yue roaring at Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, who was beside Zhang Xiu, snorted angrily and said, "What are you, you dare to speak to the general like this." After speaking, he pulled out his waist with a "brush".

Ma Dai saw that Zhang Xiu did not stop him. And Hu Che'er walked in step by step, and immediately stepped forward and said: "The general is angry! Father, he was just confused for a moment. I didn't mean to offend the general, so I asked the general to spare my father's life. ”

Ma Yue snorted angrily and said, "Rebel! Don't ask him! Let me want to recognize you as a son for my father, let my father lead the neck here and wait for death, and save the ambition of my Ma family! ”

Hu Che'er looked back at Zhang Xiu, and when he saw Zhang Xiu nodding slightly, he walked to Ma Yue, who had been escorted by the guards, and slashed at his neck with a knife. Ma Yue saw that he closed his eyes and waited for death, while Ma Dai was held by several guards and struggled, but his eyes had turned blood-red.

"Bang..."

Ma Yue only felt a pain in the back of his head, and then his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness. Ma Dai next to him was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "General Xie's subordinates are merciful" General Xie's subordinates are merciful! ”

It turned out that Hu Che'er hit Ma Yue heavily on the back of the head with the hilt of his knife, knocking him unconscious. Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "Now that the general's army has captured Oak City, and the remnants of the horse are fleeing in disarray, should the promise that Shen Zhi promised the general fulfill at the beginning?" ”

Ma Dai shook his head and said: "The general's words are wrong, now my uncle still has 20,000 troops stationed in Tianshui, and the 30,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty are in Xianyang, we are not without the strength of a battle, and we have not reached a desperate situation." Therefore, it is not yet time for Dai to fulfill his promise. ”

Zhang Xiu saw that Ma Dai was neither arrogant nor humble when he spoke. It's completely different from when he pleaded for his father. Nodding secretly, he thought: "No wonder in history, Zhuge Liang entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of killing the rebellious Wei Yan after his death, Ma Dai does have his merits. At a young age, he is smart, calm, and can be of great use, although he is not as strong as Ma Wuyi, and he is domineering on the battlefield, but he is indeed the best candidate to assist the main general of the independent leading army to fight. ”

Unable to hide his admiration for Ma Dai, Zhang Xiu bowed his jaw slightly and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, Ben will wait a few more days." During this time, take care of Defei more. ”

Ma Dai responded: "Dai understands, General Xie treats him well. ”

Waving his hand, after Ma Dai retreated, Zhang Xiu asked, "Xiaozhi, have you counted the battle last night?" ”

Fa Zheng nodded. said: "Back to the lord, the casualties of General Hua's attack on the city of Jieli in this battle are only more than 100 people. The 10,000 people of Zhang Nan's department only lost more than 100 people, and the 10,000 people of Feng Xi's department suffered many casualties because they were blocking the breakthrough of Ma's army head-on. There were more than 1,300 people. There were no casualties among the Flying Feather Archers and Cloud Riders, while more than a dozen people were injured or killed by the Thunder Riders and Pangulis Warriors. Last night, our army killed more than 5,000 enemies and captured more than 8,000 enemy soldiers. ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said with a smile: "The results can be regarded as fruitful. The general has already passed on Ziyi and asked him to block Ma Da's army from crossing the river, and now he will wait for Pang De's army to receive the news, abandon Xianyang City and join Ma's army, cross the river and retreat westward. After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "Xiaozhi has asked Chang'an to prepare grain and grass to help the people?" ”

Fa Zheng nodded and said, "It has been done in accordance with the instructions of the lord, please rest assured." ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and then nodded reassuringly.
